The prospects of SVG's moving forward look good. The Status section of the new CR notes that:

"The Candidate
Recommendation review period ends when there exists at least one SVG implementation which
passes each of the Basic Effectivity (BE) tests in the SVG test suite. The implementation status of
SVG is already very good, and at this point, most of the test are passed by one or multiple
implementations, but as yet the exit criteria have not been met. It is anticipated that implementation
status will be such that the exit criteria will be met in approximately one month."
